Have you ever wistfully looked at a couple kissing or hugging and wish that your relationship was similar? Perhaps you wonder whether you and your partner are having as much sex as other couples and whether it is healthy. Typically, we assume that happy couples will have more sex and those good relationships will be full of sexuality. Quite rightly, there is a great deal of importance of sex and intimacy in a relationship. So how can you make sure that you strike the balance of sexual and relationship happiness?

Many studies show that sex in a relationship contributes to the wellbeing of an individual. When a study compares the satisfaction of sex to income, having sex once was week has an effect of earning up to $75,000 a year. This shows the pleasure that sex can bring. On the other hand, the study showed that having sex less than once a month is comparable to making just $25,000 a year.

With the satisfaction and wellbeing benefits of sex, making sure it is right for you and your needs is essential, unfortunately for many people, it is hard to achieve the level of intimacy you (or they) are looking for. If you are unsatisfied with your sex life, you are not alone. Less than half of UK adults are satisfied with their sex life. So, is it time you prioritised the importance of sex and intimacy in your relationship?

The relationship vs roommate conundrum

Sex and intimacy in a relationship are vital. As without the two, you are just close friends or roommates going through the motions of life without any real points of intimate connection.

Intimacy means different things for everyone, so finding out what it means for you and your partner and communicating that is vital to the health of your relationship. Sex isn’t crucial in every romantic relationship, for example in asexual relationships and low libido couples. However, what is vital is the communication of sexual needs, especially if one partner wants sex when another doesn’t.

In an article for Psychology Today, Donna Flagg discusses whether withholding sex in a relationship is just as immoral as cheating. Despite hardly ever being satisfactory for both parties, sex is rarely discussed which can lead to cheating. In fact, Donna Flagg references Mark White’s argument that celibacy imposed by a partner may even justify cheating.

The differing levels of libido is one of the most common relationship issues. Furthermore, without communication of sexual needs, it can lead to the eventual erosion of the relationship, affairs, as well as resentment in the relationship.

But talking about sex after all this time is strange!

Whatever stage of your relationship, it can often be challenging to discuss sexual needs and desires with your partner. This is especially prominent in long-term commitments. Often sensitive discussions unleash insecurities and fears with both parties. The person may feel like they are letting their partner down or perhaps not feel good enough. As well as this, it can also lead to arguments and resentments due to perceived inequalities in the relationship. However, by not talking about sex with your partner could result in a breakdown of a relationship.

How to talk about sex with your partner

Think carefully about what you really want. Take away self-censorship, judgement and fear and answer, in its purest form, “what do you want?”

Choose a time to discuss the topic with your partner, so they are not surprised and have time to think about their own

Only focus on one issue in the conversation, it should not feel like a list of faults or complaints

Consider offering suggestions and inviting discussion from their viewpoint.

Try to agree to implement one suggestion to start with and set a time to review the tactic at a later specified date.

Remember, you can resolve all relationship issues together with your partner if you are both willing to keep the relationship.

Welcome to the final article in the expand your awareness five-week challenge. In the last four weeks, we have developed strategies to help us choose awareness over judgement, projection,rejection and separation. This week’s final challenge is to harness your awareness over feelings of expectation.

What are your expectations?

Do you ever find that you get angry with someone because they failed to live up to an expectation you have (e.g. returning your call, turning up to your appointment on time)?

Expectations are the judgements you place on someone else on what they should or shouldn’t do. It is these expectations that we use to have a level of control for ourselves. The expectations help us to separate and reject ourselves from others.

As well as having an expectation of others, we may also suffer as a result of someone else’s expectations of us. For example, parents will often tell their children to be good or perfect. However, this will involve someone living by someone else’s standards and not their own.

The problem with expectations is they create only two options; to be right or wrong. To live up to expectations, or feel like you have failed. The problem multiplies when so many different people have expectations, which means you are bound to upset someone and be wrong at some point. As the saying goes; you can’t please all of the people all of the time.

Why choose awareness over expectation?

Holding on to expectations or living up to expectations is unrealistic. By following someone’s expectations of you, you will inevitably not live up standards set by someone else. By creating expectations of others, we cause hurt, sadness and anxiety for ourselves as well as the other person. Instead, having awareness and acceptance can help us to be happy and honour our true path.

In order to have a great relationship with yourself and others, you need to let go of damaging expectations. Just because someone does something one day, does not mean that they will do it the next day. By allowing others to grow, you allow yourself to grow. No expectations mean you can be whomever you want to be and you support others in being themselves too.

How to choose awareness over expectation

Notice when you have an expectation of someone or someone is expecting of you.

Ask yourself how the expectation makes you feel?

Consider how your feelings would change if there were no expectation.

Check whether your expectation is stopping you or others from being their true self.

Address each situation as if it is new, without expectation or prediction.

Expectations are easy to manifest, but when they do, you have the power to address them. Remember, people change and grow, as do relationships. As long as you honour your true self and allow yourself to be human, there should be no expectation for you and others. Having no expectation helps to make everything new, unexpected and an exciting adventure.

For so many of my clients, one of the biggest hurdles getting in the way of their happiness is expectation. Whether it is an expectation of their partner, of themselves or the stress of trying to live up to the expectation of others, many people struggle and it is completely normal.

Through an innovative blend of hypnotherapy techniques and life coaching, I can help you to find your true path and rid yourself of the burden of expectation to find happiness. What to find out more?

So far in the five-week challenge, we have discovered how you can utilise awareness in a variety of situations to help overcome challenges and difficulties that you may face. Firstly, the challenge started with how to stop the impact of judgement clouding our decisions. Secondly, we tackled the issue of projection and what happens when we project our own fears and concerns onto others as well as vice versa.

Last week, I covered choosing awareness over rejection and the benefit of letting our guard down. In the piece, I discussed how that wall that you build to protect yourself might be, in fact, what is holding you back and, therefore, stopping yourself from allowing yourself to be human.

This week’s challenge will focus on choosing awareness over separation.

Do you create separation?

Separation is something we may actively do or not even realise we are doing. Separation, similar to rejection, creates a barrier that distances ourselves from others. We forego connections by creating a separation which means we can never experience the true caring, kindness and gratitude of others. As a result, separation stops us from honour our true selves by refusing to receive from others.

Why choose awareness over separation?

When you refuse to receive from others and separate others from your life, it is you that suffers the brunt of the separation. When you create distance, you not only cut off the caring from others, but you also impact the caring for yourself. Imagine, if you did not develop separations, would you be experiencing different results now?

Many people use separation as a way of distancing themselves emotionally. Furthermore, others may use separation as a way to prevent pain. However, can you really stop yourself from caring? In many cases, caring does not harm you; it is, therefore, the separation you create that can cause destruction and pain.

As a result of embracing the caring and, consequently, stopping separations, you have a chance to enjoy a life that is easier, with more possibility and, therefore, increase your opportunities for joy and happiness.

How to choose awareness over separation

Review the situations where you separate – do you distance yourself from people who have the potential to be your friends or perhaps your partner?

Ask yourself if this separation makes you happy – are you separating because you actually want to or because you ‘should?’

Consider what it would be like if you didn’t create separation.

Check whether you are stopping yourself from being human and being happy.

Let go of the separations that do not make you happy. Instead, use awareness to assess your relationship with others and whether it could make you happy without separation getting in the way.

Remember – It is perfectly normal to create separations in the face of fear or hurt. However, by creating separations, you could be denying yourself happiness. Fortunately, there are strategies to help manage separations in a way that works for your happiness. Through hypnosis, I can help you to uncover your true path and help to ease any separation struggles that may be getting in the way of your happiness. Email me at info@hypnosis-in-london.com to arrange a free 15-minute phone consultation.

The only person preventing your happiness is you. So, don’t deny yourself a chance to be happy and, therefore, enjoy meaningful connections with others. By choosing awareness over separation and rejection, you give yourself the freedom to honour your own path. Remember, if you need any help with overcoming separation and support to stop building a psychological wall, I can help. Start your awareness journey by booking an appointment with me.

]]>Awareness Over Rejection: Expand Your Awareness Five Week Challenge – Part Threehttp://www.hypnosis-in-london.com/awareness-over-rejection/

In the past two blog articles, we have looked at how awareness can help you to think and act differently in challenging situations. Last week covered projection and how our internal predictions can negatively affect our response to situation outcomes. The week before we began the challenge of choosing awareness over judgement. This challenge involved trying to look at situations from as many angles as possible to avoid falling into the trap of having one view of a situation.

This week’s challenge is to change your response to difficulties when rejection gets in the way.

Challenge one: Let go of rejection

Rejection helps us to build a wall. With a fear of rejection, we create a distance between ourselves and others. We keep ourselves guarded and because of rejection, we can struggle to let ourselves enjoy real caring, love and kindness. We do not allow ourselves to be vulnerable and in some cases, this means we cannot experience true happiness as we have this niggling emotion getting in the way.

Often, we use rejection as a way of having control or a say in a situation. Sometimes we reject what someone else says or does so that we can appear to have our own mind. In these cases, we have to ask whether we are denying for the right reasons. Are we choosing to refuse because it is right for our needs or rejecting to simply go against someone else’s belief?

While we may use rejection to protect ourselves, what we are actually doing is rejecting ourselves. Rejection can feel like we are pressing the self-destruct button. This stops us from having the awareness, happiness and freedom that we crave to have ourselves and to give to others.

Why choose awareness over rejection?

By letting go of rejection, you can rid yourself of negative feelings and can enjoy love, compassion and happiness as a giver and a receiver. By taking down the wall, you allow others to see the best version of yourself. More importantly, you get to experience the happiness of being your true self. Allow yourself to be human.

Instead of fearing rejection, you can take a step back and realise that you have choices. You can choose to take a rejection personally, or you can accept that someone is rejecting themselves because of their own fears. You can reject someone for fear of being hurt, or you can choose awareness over rejection and potentially explore a new level in your relationship. Remember, allow yourself to be human.

How to choose awareness over rejection

Do you feel there is potential for further happiness in your life? Do you put up walls to protect yourself? If you find yourself rejecting, try these steps to help you to assess our rejection and find awareness.

Notice the times when you reject – e.g. It could be declining a social event or refusing to take the next step in a relationship.

Ask yourself why you are rejecting – is it because you fundamentally do not want to do it or because there is a feeling or ‘should’ preventing you from wanting and saying yes?

What would it be like if you were to drop the rejection – e.g. say yes instead of no.

Check whether you are blocking your right to happiness

Choose the path that is right for you and your needs, using an awareness of the situation rather than an inherent rejection.

Remember – Handling rejection can be difficult and painful. However, there are tools and techniques that can help you to conquer the feeling of rejection once and for all. If rejection is getting in the way of your happiness, then email me at info@hypnosis-in-london.com for a free 15-minute phone consultation.

Start choosing awareness over rejection today

Remember, by choosing rejection; we deny ourselves, not others. With awareness, you find a way to make a conscious decision about a situation. Instead of believing that someone has rejected you, take away the blame, and you can focus your energy on positive steps for the future, rather than dwelling. Likewise, instead of rejecting to prevent sadness, you can choose awareness to allow more happiness than you thought possible.

Ultimately, your energy should be channelled into making positive choices for your benefit, and that provides you with the most happiness. If you find rejection a difficult emotion, then I can help. Book your appointment online and banish rejection for good.

This is the second week in the series of a five-week challenge to expand your awareness and overcome some of the difficulties that we can all face in challenging situations. This week, we focus on choosing awareness over projection.

Choosing awareness over projection is to help you take a step back and not make predictions or expect others, or even yourself, to behave in a certain way. It is so easy to project because it is what we want others to do. Having an awareness can help you to realise your projections. It can also reduce the disappointment, judgement and pressure that comes with projecting and expecting.

Last week’s challenge was to try and identify when you are making judgements and put the measures in place to help expand your awareness when you have these thoughts. The challenge also looked at what happens in the situations where you make judgements. You can read the article here and don’t forget to email me at info@hypnosis-in-london.com if you need any help and to receive your free meditation download.

This week’s challenge follows on from last week and will help you to stay true to yourself. Furthermore, it will help you not to suffer as a result of other people’s projections and your own expectations of others.

Challenge two: Stop projections

Projections and expectations are our internal predictions of what we think someone will do. When we project, place emphasis on what we want to happen, not necessarily what the other person wants. As a result, we can feel disappointment when these expectations do not actualise. Furthermore, we often judge others for not living up to the expectations that we have set in our minds. Problems arise when we project without consideration of the other people, falling into the trap of mind reading, or in extreme cases, seeing others as objects.

Projection happens the other way around too. We will take on people’s own projections and make them our own, even when we do not want to, or think it is the right thing to do. We often do what other people want to avoid their judgement of us or because this is the ‘norm’. Instead of being true to ourselves, we live up to other people’s expectations. This can make us unhappy, and we suffer as a result of feeling powerless.

We are even too hard on ourselves. We have expectations of what we should achieve, such as the promotion at work or perhaps to look a certain way and be a certain dress size. When we do not live up to our own expectations it can impact our self-esteem, we end up judging ourselves harshly. This can damage our mental health and wellbeing as well as our bodies.

Why choose awareness over projection?

To help rid these negative feelings and to make sure you honour your true path, this week’s challenge aims to stop you buying into someone else’s projections, stop yourself projecting and ultimately learn how to choose awareness over projection. Instead of being nice and doing things that don’t make you happy, choosing awareness over projection can help you to be the best version of yourself and make the choices in situations that will make you happiest.

How to stop projections

When you are facing a difficult situation or perhaps a person you find challenging, follow these four steps;

Notice when you are projecting – e.g. do you believe a colleague hates you or perhaps your partner will cheat?

What would it be like to drop with prediction or mind reading?

Notice when you are buying into another person’s projection, g. are you doing something that makes you unhappy because of what they want?

What beliefs and attitudes have they got you believing, even though it is not actually what you think?

Step four can be a challenging step. Often the projections we live up to are so ingrained in our relationship with that person, that we may not even realise it is a projection at all. Even though it may be routine, try and find your own belief in the situation. Then make the decision, consciously, as to whether you genuinely do buy into the projection or not.

Remember, you do not have to buy your own or others’ projections as real and true. Use awareness to see a situation as it is, not using your own inherent or inherited beliefs.

Bonus! To help you consciously approach your own projections as well as the projections that you buy into, I have created a powerful affirmation download. Please email me at info@hypnosis-in-london.com to receive your free copy. With the power of affirmation, it can help you to realise your own conscious thoughts and stay true to yourself with confidence and esteem.

The benefits of choosing awareness over projection

By allowing yourself to see every point of view, not just the projection of what you think you want, you expand the possibilities. This can help you to actively adjust, making it easier to adapt to each situation. Without the expectation and projection, you will not disappoint, or be disappointed by others. You can live without judgement and be confident in your own decisions and less influenced by other people.

Let me help you to choose awareness over projection

Do you want to increase your awareness further? If you would like to rid yourself of the influence of projections or stop projecting yourself, I can help. Get in touch to book an appointment and receive the support, tools and advice you need to help take control of your life and feel confident in your decision-making.

As always, I would love to hear how you are finding this week’s challenge.

In this five-week series of articles, I will help you to harness your awareness. Through a weekly challenge, you can learn more about awareness, and yourself. By having awareness, you can see situations in a different light, with new and different perspectives. This can help you to make better decisions, feel more in control and ultimately happier. Awareness can help you to consider the various options in front of you that you may not have realised are there.

How I use awareness

Many clients come to me when they are facing a difficult situation or problem. My clients can often feel trapped by their situation. They may feel unable to see a way out or see that there is more than one answer. Usually, the only solution they see is one they do not like or want to proceed with.

To help my clients see past their problem and find a solution that works for them, I often ask them to see a situation without a particular mentality that they may have. This mentality could be jealousy or fear, for example. With this exercise, it can really help to open your mind to new possibilities. Through this weekly challenge, I hope I can show you an alternative approach to tackling problems so that you can feel happier and more in control of your life.

To start the first week of this five-week challenge, I have chosen a difficult concept to tackle: judgement.

Challenge one: Drop your judgement

Judgements are so easy to make but can often cloud our decisions. Many of us fear judgement. We worry that other people will not like us. Also, we can be anxious that people will negatively judge us for something we say or do. We even harshly judge ourselves. It can impact our confidence and make us afraid of saying what we want, doing what we wish to and expressing how we really feel. However, by choosing awareness over judgement, we can begin to shed these fears for our own happiness and freedom.

The problem is judging ourselves and others can have many negative consequences. Furthermore, it can distort our vision of the world, making it difficult to make the right decisions and be the person we want to be. However, there is a way to change this habit and choose awareness over judgement for your own happiness and wellbeing.

Consider this:

When you picture a glass of water, what do you see? There may be many different answers depending on your perspective. The glass of water may look different when you look at it on the side, from above or even from ten feet away.

When you have a decision to make or face a difficult situation, it can help for you to take a step back and look at the situation from the many different angles it has. Just like a glass of water, there are different ways to see a situation. By taking away one mentality you have, you open yourself up to seeing more angles and more opportunities.

Why choose awareness over judgement?

Judging a situation or person is common. Your judgement will likely come from a past experience that you have had or a situation that you may have seen before. With this in mind, it will shape your response to the current circumstances, and you will realise an emotional trigger. This can impact your flow of energy as you start to focus on the emotion. It will then affect the perspective you have of the situation you see or are in.

In contrast, choosing awareness over judgement will enable you to have further knowledge of a situation. It allows you to take a minute to consider the different angles, much like the glass of water analogy.

How to drop your judgement

This week’s challenge is to drop judgement in favour of gaining perspective or awareness so that you can have a fresh take on a situation.

Start noticing when you feel stuck, limited or facing a difficult situation.

Ask yourself whether you are observing the situation or whether you are making a judgement.

If it is a judgement, ask yourself what judgements you hold of the particular situation.

Next, rate your awareness on a scale of zero to ten. Ten will be the highest level of awareness you hold.

Take your challenge to the next level, ask yourself the three following questions;

What is making me judge the situation?

What keeps me in judgement mode?

What can I do to gain more perspective?

Bonus! Help to keep your awareness going. Email me at info@hypnosis-in-london.com for your free meditation download which can help you to reduce judgement and increase your awareness.

You may find it useful to jot down your notes in a diary. With practice, you will find that the number of judgements you make decreases. Furthermore, you will be able to see new perspectives that you may not have considered before.

The benefits of choosing awareness over judgement

By changing your view, seeing different perspectives, and banishing pre-existing judgements to simply having an awareness, you give yourself freedom. Instead of feeling boxed-in with preconceptions, you allow yourself to see the situation exactly how it is. You do not conclude and predict how something will unfold. Instead, you get to choose your response. Therefore, you can feel more in control of yourself and how you react to events.

This can then help you with your decision-making as you can make an informed and proactive choice with many more options in front of you.

Let me help you to choose awareness over judgement

For further help to increase your awareness and support through difficult situations, then book an appointment with me where we can spend the time addressing judgements and help you to experience more freedom and better decision-making.

I would love to hear your thoughts on the challenge and look forward to bringing you The Expand Your Awareness Five Week Challenge, Week Two.

Where in your life are you trying really hard to make it work and yet it’s just not happening?

Maybe you’re doing all the ‘right things’ yet nothing seems to be moving. Perhaps you’re at a crossroads wondering whether to go down the same old familiar path favoring comfort rather than venturing out and following your heart’s desires. Or maybe you have tried to be positive and hopeful, yet keep coming across one brick wall after another. Maybe you have given up hope altogether and resigned to a life less than what you would have wanted for yourself.

In your career, business or love life, do you feel like you’re:

Not making any progress

Constantly fire-fighting

Fearing the worst

On the verge of giving up

Stuck in a funk

Out of ideas

Lost in low energy

Trapped in limiting beliefs

For over 12 years I have been studying, practicing and applying techniques for manifestation and the main thing I have learned is that it’s our own energy that blocks the actualisation of our desires. Really, that is all it’s coming down to. Whilst I have shared some techniques here and there with some of you over the years, it’s only in the last several months where I have taken a handful of private clients through a journey of manifestation. Having created bespoke manifestations routines that were applied on a regular basis these private clients have come into alignment with their desires, and one client, in particular, met the woman of his dreams – something he had completely given up on! Another client used the taught principles with her team and boosted overall sales performance at her design company.

In this one-off workshop, I shall be demonstrating the best of the best manifestation techniques I have learned over 12 years of practice. You will find yourself in possession of mental toolkit designed to help actualise your desires.

Manifestation Workshop – only 10 spaces!

You will receive a 15-minute call before the workshop to discuss your manifestation goals, and a 15-minute follow up call after the event.

For Companies, Teams or Management

Want to take this to the next level and get your business and staff involved?If you feel that staff morale is low, inspiration has dried up, or your team(s) aren’t performing then let’s take a look at how to create that ‘dream team’ vibe again, it is possible! Very rarely do people turn up to work with the deliberate intent of having a bad day or under-performing, and so by being able to harness receptive energy we can encourage everyone to flow in the same direction towards growth and success.

We all have intentions. We may intend to become fitter, eat healthier or get up earlier. Intentions have the potential to be really powerful. However, intentions are much more effective when they are specific and goal driven. For the power of intentions to work for you, you need to make sure you know the real reason behind your intention.

Why use the power of intention?

By making our actions more meaningful, we know exactly what we want to achieve, which can lead to happiness. The power of intention is often linked to the law of attraction, that like attracts like. This means that when you have intention, you are likely to achieve your goals. With the use of intention, individuals make themselves available for success.

Intention does not necessarily mean that you will get what you wish for. However, it opens you up to a more positive mindset. This positivity can allow you to be more receptive to opportunities, instead of dwelling on pessimistic thoughts.

How to harness the power of intention

To use intention effectively, it is vital for you to realise what you want and understand precisely what you want to achieve. You then need to figure out why you want this. It is the ‘why’ that is your intention.

To help set your intentions on the right path, you may find it helpful to evaluate your life in the present so you can determine your intentions of the future. You can do this by using my free life evaluation tool.

How to use intentions

There are many ways to use intentions in daily life, here are just two of the ways that I recommend for my clients.

Therapeutic intentions

Therapeutic intentions delve deeper into what actualising the intention would bring. This way you discover the feelings you will have when you realise the intention. For most people, they believe their intention is one thing, for example, to be successful at work, but actually, it is the feeling that this will bring which is important, i.e. to feel less anxious. After understanding the feelings behind the intention, you can then change the intention. For example, I want to feel less anxious, or I want to feel more confident. With this reflection, you open up more options of how you can achieve this feeling through other methods.

Implementation intentions

Implementation intentions follow the premise of ‘when x happens, I will do y’. This will show you when, where and how you can put your intention into practice. This is a great method if things don’t go according to plan. You can use this method for: when I sleep in and miss my morning exercise, I will take my trainers to work and go for a walk at lunchtime or go to the gym straight after work. Another could be: when I feel frustrated I will find a peaceful place to meditate and reflect on the positives in life.

Enjoy the power of intention

Your mind is a powerful tool. When you harness your mind correctly, it can help you to achieve success in all aspects of life. The power of visualisation is a process that can help everyone. It is well known to help sports stars, entrepreneurs and businesses. In fact, 82% of small businesses that used the vision boards accomplished more than half of the goals they included. 76% of businesses that use visualisation say their firm is how they envisioned it at the start.

Multiple studies have been conducted on the power of visualisation. Results show practising something mentally can be as effective as performing the activity physically.

How visualisation can affect you

Visualisation is incredibly powerful, but not always positively. Essentially, visualisation is a mental picture or film, where we can see what we expect or want to happen. This can take place in the past or the future. This feeling and vision can be so powerful, it can be difficult for the subconscious brain to know whether it is real or imagined.

I see many clients who have tremendous fears and phobias because they have such powerful negative visualisations. The intensity of which can cause mental and physical reactions, such as panic attacks. One aspect of my therapy is to help people who are trapped in negative visualisations. I give the tools and guidance clients need to see success with the power of positive visualisations.

Using visualisation to achieve success

I use a range of strategies and techniques so that my clients can harness their visualisations. This can help them to achieve their goals and banish the negativity that is holding them back. From affirmations, self-confirmation and gratitude to visualisations, there are simple tricks you can do every day. All of which can enhance your performance and achieve the goals you dream of.

One of my favourite techniques that takes only a few minutes to perform each day is the film of your life.

In a relaxed state, first thing in the morning, after yoga or meditation or when you have finished work in the evening, sit down in a quiet space and imagine you are at the cinema.

As the movie begins, it is your life but the aspect you want to be better or the goal you want to achieve. Try and take in every single detail such as the sounds you hear, the clothes you are wearing, your movements and body language.

Visualise standing up and entering the film, so you are no longer watching it but taking part. Think about your emotions and your experiences in the moment.

When you are ready, imagine leaving the cinema, and you return to real life but with the mental image still inside you.

When repeating this film every day, it can have a remarkable effect on your life. As you visualise your future for the better, the positivity starts to manifest. My clients not only use this technique to overcome negativity but also to achieve their goals, whether it is acquiring a new skill, improving a financial outlook, achieving career landmarks or enhancing a relationship.

Whatever you want to see in your future, it is time to start the visualisation process to make it happen.

Gratitude – The ability to cope with the challenges of life while appreciating its beauty.

Did you know that spending just five minutes a day being grateful can increase your long-term happiness and well-being by 10%? In fact, practising the power of gratitude enhances satisfaction by the same amount as doubling your income. Furthermore, gratitude can also improve our health, emotional state, relational well-being as well as our personality and career.

With an increased focus on positive psychology, many studies have been conducted on gratitude. The results of which have been staggering. Research proves that gratitude can make you happier, more sociable, healthier, emotionally stronger, less self-centred and in addition, can even improve sleep.

By taking little time to practice, being completely free and, importantly, offers a wealth of benefits, is it time for you to inject the power of gratitude into your life?

What is gratitude?

Gratitude has a number of different definitions. It is a term often used in religious texts and throughout history. However, positive psychologists define the term scientifically, who believe the meaning of gratitude needs to have the ability to be measurable for the purpose of research.

Since there are many definitions available, you can find the one that works best for your beliefs and lifestyle. For most, being grateful is an emotion that enables you to appreciate and be thankful while gratitude is the habit that allows you to harness for gratefulness for the betterment of yourself and others.

How to harness the power of gratitude

Many of my clients want to find the ways that they can improve their happiness by taking control. So often, we rely on other people for our happiness. However, by focusing on what you are personally grateful for, you have the power of gratitude. With this, you can focus on the things that are important to you and therefore make the necessary positive changes in your life.

Here are just a few examples of what I recommend for my clients to try;

Gratitude journal

A gratitude journal is a space where you can reflect on three positive experiences that happen each day. This can be completed using a specific phone app, on your computer or in a notebook. In one study, completing a gratitude journal for just two weeks found increasing positivity lasting for up to six months.

Gratitude meditation

Gratitude meditation is where you can train your mind to be aware of positivity and happiness. Take the time to sit quietly and focus on your breathing. You can then open your mind to the sensations you are experiencing. Then, you can think about what you are most grateful for in the present moment. Practising meditation and mindfulness brings many other benefits as well as helping you to enhance your gratitude.

Express yourself

If you are grateful to someone or something, then why keep it to yourself? One study shows that people who called someone to say thank you, increase their happiness by 19%. Furthermore, it also makes the other person feel good too. So, if someone makes your day brighter, say thank you. In return, you will be even happier and consequently, their positivity will increase also.

Need help practising your gratitude?

During my hypnotherapy sessions, I also include a range of therapies such as NLP and meditation so that clients receive the maximum benefit and leave my clinic feeling energised and empowered.

If you want to harness the potential of your gratitude and see the benefits for yourself, then book a hypnotherapy session with me. Together, we can work out a bespoke therapy plan that can help you to increase your gratitude and feel happier and healthier.
